Amy and I at her flat in Ferney
We spent the last 2 nights with my cousin Amy, who lives in Ferney-Voltaire, just past the Swiss/French border in France. Ferney (as locals prefer to call it – apparently Voltaire was not a nice guy) is a cute little village, with an excellent boulangerie (bakery) and Indian restaurant.
We spent yesterday touring Geneva, with Amy as our very capable guide. It was so nice to not have to worry about which bus to catch or how to navigate in the city. We visited the UN, the botanic gardens, tooks a boat across Lake Geneva and explored the old town. It was a most glorious spring day and I must confess that Geneva (and in fact, all of Switzerland), now holds a special place in my heart.

Thank you so much Amy (and Lis) for having us and showing us the sites. It was definately one of the highlights of our trip!

As I suspected your hair is growing quite rapidly Leah! Looks like you’ll need a fringe trim ASAP haha. You’ll be pleased to know I survived my environmental legislation assignment, we’ll see how the marks go though. Ollie is becoming increasingly mischievous, why do I not remember this period in Rusty’s life? Haha. Hope you and J are well xxxxx Sista
It’s growing quickly and I need a dye job as well! But I’m afraid of what I’ll end up with if I go to a hairdresser when I don’t speak their language! Glad you survived the assignment, I still get confused by environmental legislation and I work with it every day! Don’t you remember Rusty’s brief shoe chewing phase? Not to mention when he was let off the lead and wouldn’t come when you called him – he thought it was a game!
